Dimitar Berbatov ‘set for Manchester United exit’

Dimitar Berbatov could be on his way out of Old Trafford after being omitted from the squad for the Champions League final against Barcelona on Saturday.

The Bulgarian was reportedly furious at the decision to hand Michael Owen a place on the substitutes’ bench instead of him and did not take his seat in the stands to watch the game at Wembley, reports the Sun.

He also failed to join the other omitted players on the pitch at the final whistle, instead making his way straight on to the team bus.

Berbatov is now said to be considering his future at the club, where he has started only five of the last 20 games as Javier Hernandez has established a place in the regular starting 11.

Manchester United midfielder Nani said: ‘It’s a very difficult moment for him. It’s very hard but the manager has to make a decision and it’s very hard for him too.’

Berbatov moved to Manchester United from Tottenham in the summer of 2008 and has gone on to make 128 appearances for the club, scoring 47 goals along the way.

But he has not managed to find the back of the net in a Champions League game since October 2008.
